Condition Report
The three pieces all display general wear including surface scratches and marks commensurate with the age and use. Quite heavy tarnishing is visible to some areas and they would all benefit from a clean and polish. Some grounding down but the spoon bowl has faired quite well. The fork tines are slightly uneven in length and the two outer ones are leaning in slightly. The knife blade is also a little bent with nibbles around the edge. Gaps visible at the joins of the ferrule. The hallmarks are all clear and legible.
